Driedger, Michael D. “The Year 1625, the Dutch Republic, and Book History: Perspectives for Reframing Studies of Mennonites and Early Modernity.” Mennonite Quarterly Review 97.1 (2023): 9-50.
The January issue of Mennonite Quarterly Review just came out. It includes reviews of Evie Yoder Miller’s Scruples on the Line trilogy and Robert Zacharias’s Reading Mennonite Writing. It also includes a fascinating article by Michael D. Driedger about Dutch Anabaptist intellectual life in the 1600s that spends some time talking about the prominence of said Anabaptists in the publishing world. This history provides a possible new starting point for discussions of Mennonite literature, so I have added the article to the General Bibliography.
